There has not. yet been any collision on land between the Russian and Jup- uncsc forces, but they are moving to- wards each other at various points, at some of' which they will probably soon meet. At sea the «Laps are having things pretty much their own way, and are said to be confident of' their ability to capture Port Arthur. Thcy sue ceeded in sinking, practically without loss to themselves, f'our old and compar- atively worthless ships in the entrance sirublc that there should prevail a aya- tem of' paying life insurance policies which. without the knowledge of the insured, causes their policies to lapse for one month in every twelve. The question seriously concerns nearly every- body.” m Anothersinowâ€"Elockade. - The storm which set in on Monday afternoon and raced for several hours caused perhaps the worst blockade of the season. As soon as it cammenced all trains on this line were cancelled, and up to this (Wednesday) evening. not even a snow-plough has reached the Falls. Two or three able bodied men have walked From Lindsay along the track, and our liverymen have sent. out several sleighs. but up to the time of' writing none of' them have got back. Mr. McCall has a. team at Lindsay, one at Bobcaygeon and? one- at Burnt River. and Mr. Edwards has a team two miles the other side of Powles’s Corner. . The driver got to Lindsay in fair time on Monday afternoon, but next day had' to leave his outfit atga farm house and walk the remaining six miles home to the Falls. at the rate. of' one mile an hour. Mr. J.-L. Arnold’s ponies had to be left at M r. J. [-Iughes's and‘ on Tuesday Elavelle &“Dundas’s ‘agent, Mr. Wm. White, drnre- clean 'ovcr asleigh, full of' bags of' chop, that had been abandoned‘ at the foot of Mofl'at’s hill; and’ was-so covered with snow that. he mistook it for a little drif't that his horses could easily force their way throngh. Mr. J. [1. Carnegie and ‘Mr. (l-hris.,,G._raney, left the Falls for ‘lJi-n-d‘say- on- Tuesday afternoon, and, though they had snow shoes, put up For the night at Czimeron.- One of' Mr. Edwards’s biggest sleighs, with nine passengers and‘twosnow shovels, left at . one p. m. today for Lindsay, but how ‘0 the harbor; “CL _ if the): lake fl“? they fared we have not yet heard. We Fortress, all the munitions of war with- “fight fill nearly a columuwith me ad- in its walls will fall into their hands, besides the ten Russian warships now “bottled up“ in the harbor. Ten thousand well-drilled and Well-equipped Chinese troops are on one flank of the, Russians, and, although they are there~ ostensibly for the purpose of' preventing. the combatants from crossing the bor- der, the Chinese common(ler-in~chief' finds it difficult to prevent his men from attacking the Russians. Perhaps “ the, wish is father to the thought,” but, as we said last week. the general opinion is that the Japs will be victors in the fight. As arace they are very small men, but they are remarkably strong for their size, and far- more activeand alert than their larger opponents, who, however. are said to be good fighters. In the Crimean war, nearly half a cent- ury ago, the llu:sians were beaten in every encounter between them and the allied English and French, not because they lacked courage. but because ofa their natural stolidily and the manner in which they had been drilled and were handled; and the Japs, who are a wow derfully pregressive people, have adopt- ed Western methods. The war is vary popular in Japan, the. people feeling that they are fighting for national ex- istence. All classes, rich and poor, are voluntarily offering their savings to the Government to be used in the national defence, and the Women are even selling their jewels to help~.in the good work. â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Your insurance Policy. The Following artielc,f'rom the Torâ€" onto Star of Saturday last. will be of' great interest to such of' ‘our readers as have insured their lives or are thinking of insuring them :- ..f ' “ In a lawsuit at Hamilton to recover the amount of' a life insurance-policy, ‘ the defence put in by the company is that the policy had expired, and was not in force at the time of' the deceased’s death, although he died during “the thirty days’ grace " allowed for the pay- ment of premiums. As the Hamilton Harald says, this will come as a sur. prise to policyholders everywhere, for it is an almost universal custom to take advantage of the thirty days" grace The prevalent opinion is thatthe month is given to emphasize the notice that. the payment is due and to prevent: pol- icies lupsing through carelessness, or by failure to note-the date. It was gener- ally supposed to be an- arrangement found by experience to be as advan- ‘tngeous to the companies as to the in. suringr public. But if' the contention of the defence be sound in this case, it mc-ms that the great majority of' those who carry life insurance are in reality insured during- only eleven months in each year. This point needs to be cleared up, and it is to be hoped that Elle action in llainitlon will settle it def- initely. , for-sills. man. be not protected by insurance during the thirty days of' grace, it ,will become his imperative duty to forget that any such margin is allowed himâ€"except as a period during which, without expense or. medical ex- amination, he can revivcm policy that has justlapsed. It is eminently unde- lzventures ofi'travellers since the begin- '~ning of the week; but the above will suffice to give an idea of' the state of the roads. At last there are indica- tians that. the winterâ€"one of' the very worst-onerecordeâ€"is nearing its end,- and everybody earnestly hopes that. we may never see another like it. ing from the west, and the blockade may last all this week, or even longer. M The :itlarnival.‘h The carnival last Friday night was one of the most successful ever held on: the local rink. The weather was per- fect and the roads were better than usu- al, so quite a number drove in From outside points to attend.
